i need to replace front e brake cable on my sdl.i was told seats ,carpet and console need to come out.looked in diy thread for console r+r ,but no luck.anybody have info on whats involved to get console ,rugs out to access tunnel for cable r+r.indy shop says 7 hours-labor.i want to do this myself and have time and space for the job,just dont know if its too involved.

Maybe you could explain what a "front e brake cable" might be?

Or, we could just guess...........

sorry ,e cable is the emergency brake cable actuated by the foot pedal when engaging emergency brake.front refers to the cable hooking to pedal next to brake pedal,it seperates into left and right further under car towards rear.on 86 87 sdl it is a major pita.

I haven't done that cable, but I'm not grasping the reason to remove the console? It's nowhere near the cable.

apparently the cable runs in tunnel under console,all indy shops have told me you need to get console out to get to cable underneath-perhaps you know some other info and ive been misinformed.ive ordered chassis and brake manual to get a clearer picture.for 2 years these cables were different than previous models.

I believe the cable runs underneath the vehicle..........not below the console and above the pan.

But, I have not replaced that cable, so I can't say for certain.

yes it would be nice if it was underneath as it is on 300d 240 etc ,its not and has 7 hour labor in factory labor manual.lucky me
